No job but new opportunities!

Well, unfortunately, I didn't get the job at Greenfield High. However, new jobs for teachers around the area are being posted each and every day online. This is great news for me, so I'm constantly working at home (yes, we do have internet at home now--yay!). Also, I'm selling books on amazon.com, so I'm trying to keep busy.

Trying to keep busy is the keyword. Unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time, so I'm trying to read lots of books and learn new cooking skills. Currently, Bryan and I are reading Ron Blue's Master Your Money. Our friend Todd Schulz (who, by the way, moved back to Iowa with his lovely wife, Melissa) recommended the book to Bryan a couple of years ago. We are about half way through with the book, and we enjoy discussing it. Many of his concepts (live on less than you make, aviod car debt and consumer debt) we already practice. Hopefully, we will pull out more of his concepts as we continue with the book.

I recently finished Jonni McCoy's Miserly Moms: Living on One Income in a Two Income Economy. This book gave great advice on cooking homemade meals and getting the most out of your grocery budget. I hope to use a lot of her advice one day, eespecially when the day comes that Bryan and I will be living on his income (ie, when we have rugrats). She also has inticing recipies in her book, including how to make homemade jams. I hope to use this recipie as soon as I learn how to can fruits.

What else is new?? Oh, Bryan and I will be attending a new member orientation at Elmbrook Church this Sunday. Check out their website at www.elmbrook.org. The people in the church seem very devoted to the great commission and carrying out biblical teachings. In fact, two of the pastors have radio segments: one is called Telling the Truth, and I listen to it each morning. Oh yeah, another thing keeping me busy is talk radio! I enjoy listening to the ACLJ (counterpart to ACLU) each morning around 11am. At noon, the James Dobson Family Minute comes on, and then at 12:30pm, Dennis Rainey's show comes on. At 1pm, Dave Ramsey comes on air, and I enjoy listening to him and people who call in with their debt-free stories. They're so inspiring. Check out his ministry at www.daveramsey.com

Hopefully soon Bryan and I can learn how to post pictures. Until then, I hope everyonoe stays safe and has a wonderful day and week!
